To all whom it may concern;

Be it known that we,FRno E. WHITE and FREDRUK E. ilworicn, both of Gardner,

Masses isetts, cit zens of the United States ,5 of America. have nvented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil Stoves, of which the follow w is a specification.

Our invention ates to an oil burner of the type shown i1; Letters Patent.1,20l,902 -granted ()ctober L 1916 the'present invention having to d with the particular construction of the Jr distributer which. is adapted to be usi' it-h any form of locking means, either sin a is shown in our patent referred to abov in an application of even date here n having manually actuated locking s for limiting the upward movement or me wick, while allowing the. removal of t' distributor for the purtube.

Instead of 11 'ng, in our issued patent, a wick stop ,sely secured to the air spreader or distributor we provide a skirt a, which tits wi inthe inner wick tube Z), the skirt being of such diameter as to leave an air space uetween it and the inner wick tube and it is understood that this skirt may be provided with any known or improved means for hunting its upward movement and permitting detachment. The upper end of the skirt we iia-re out slightly, as shown at.

(2, and provide'this flared section with perforations 6, these perforations being directly in line with the inner wall of the wick when the parts are in raised position. The metal is then flared outwardly in a horizontal direction as shown at f to form the wick step, the flange-resting directly upon the- 40 wick as shown. Instead. of the protruding shoulder e of our former construction or the flanges shown in the patents of Berg 739,143 of September 15, 1903, or the British patent of 'Williams 21,734-of October 15, 1898, we extend the metal of the distributor upwardly on approximately the outer line of the wick forming a recess directly above the pose ef gaining; access to the central draft wall it.

wick provided with a line of perforations in its outer wall as shown at g. A flanged cally upward forming the upper perforated section it of the distributer. This construction provides in connection with the flared end of the skirt and its outwardly flared fian e a restricted air iassa e to the er' forations g and constitutes a very important part of the invention.

The usual and well known air distributing flanges n, 0, are provided above'the section it, these flanges being connected by a.

perforated wall p, ofless diameter than the iVe have found this construction to be very effective, there are'no loose parts, and the particular configuration provides a'very durable construction with a perfect distribution of air just where it is needed.

The drawing showing the invention represents a sectional view through the distributor and the wick tube of an oil stove.

What we claim is 2- An air distributor for wick stoves having an upper vertical cylindrical perforated portion and a lower cylindrical portion with an intervening hollow annular flange adapted to rest upon the top of the wick, the lower portion being adapted to fit within the central draft space of the stove and having a flared perforated portion adjacent said hollow flange, the inner surfaces ofsaid up per and lower portions, including the flared portion and interior air space of the (listributer.

In testimony whereof we afiix our signatures.
